I fail to see how that is a solution. It just pushes the problem to how to judge merit. Have fun with that.
Oh, I agree, it is one area Aristotle fell incredibly short in. But his concept of justice and distributive and not retributive has been useful to legal philosophy as a whole though.
And yeah, I agree, impossible to judge merit.

TL;DR My post is me agreeing with Karl Marx. However, saying that his vision has been inadequately established.
I currently am working a part time job + attending a world class university. Please explain what you mean by "high school contribution."
Marx was a very smart and complicated guy, and his philosophy changed throughout his life, from having a humanistic tone to having more reductionist tones later on.
And everybody agrees with Marx about something, most people just have no idea how far his thoughts and works have shaped modernity.
Along with Darwin and Freud, Marx is one of the founders of modern thought.
